Highest Tier Changes
🕑 Added 2022-01-15 02:39:11 +0000 UTCSo, all the years of doing this and some advice from other artists have given me a conclusion; the Absolute Unit tier is really underpriced. The tier says a request sketch, but my own tendencies means it really is a request lineart; something much cleaner and takes a hefty chunk of time. Charging what is essentially five bucks for that is really not a cost-effective use of my time and is way underpriced for what is received. So for my own sake, I'm going to be making the following changes to the Absolute Unit tier:
- The number of slots in the tier is going to be doubled to 16. This is so that there are more people able to get in on the requests. Much as I appreciate the continued support from the consistent patrons I’ve had in this tier I want to give more people a shot to get some as well, both for them and for me to get some more variety of ideas, keep it fun and interesting.
- Requests will now be done on a bi-monthly basis per person. Despite this increase in slots I will still only be doing 8 requests a month. The patrons will be split into two groups and each group will alternate months for their requests. I’ll keep track of whose turn it is and let you know when you sign up what group.
- Price of the tier is going to be raised to $15. Again, this is about making the amount of effort that goes into the requests worth it for me as well. Coupled with the bi-monthly setup this is to make those requests more akin to what an actual lineart commission would be in terms of asking price.
I'll be implementing these changes within the next week here and letting everyone know when they do so anyone who wants in on the new arrangement can sign up. If you don't think it's worth it and don't wish to participate anymore I understand, but I gotta be real about the amount of time and effort that goes into these and make it worthwhile for me as well.

Yes you would, for one there's no way to charge bi-monthly on Patreon that I'm aware of. I took that into account because the idea is cumulatively between the two months is what the cost for the slot would be, were I to still have the same number of slots as before. What is essentially $20 per request is very much in line for a commission price for a clean lineart like I do. Heck that's still a lowball, I always tend to undercharge for my stuff.

I appreciate the notice and you do deserve to charge whatever you think is worth your effort and time. I only have one question and it's that since you're doing bi-monthly for the request and upping the slots for rotation. Will we be charged during the month(s) where we aren't a part of the roster for that month(s)?
